A fistful of parts in cream colored resin. Nice casting, no bubbles. Fuselage halfes, one-piece wings, elevators, rudder, some interior bits, wheels. UC is provided in white metal. A small decal sheet, just the "Heinkel" writiing. Two vac canopies. Two pages of instructions:

First things first - building the cockpit, as usual.

Not a lot of parts here. Also not a lot of details... Added some styrene as lower side consoles, a rear bulkhead and a new floor. Glued the jet pipe and tail wheel bay into place.

IP needs some paint to bring out the details.

The seat is nothing to write home about. Too small. Quarterscale only... I have to look into the bit box for a better one.

No issue. We shall see how it works. Latest news: The intake ramp (instruction image 3) does not fit very well. Especially after I moved the floor down to the bottom of the fuselage becase the whole cockpit was too shallow for a 1/32 scale pilot. So I will make a new one and also smooth out the whole intake to get rid of that inner "lip"...

Found a leftover resin seat for a Bf-109. Much better. Also some sets of RBs harness. Much worser. Boy, they look nice, but making them is incredibily fiddly! Nothing for people with short fuze, indeed

Time to join the meeting at Luebeck. Will wrestle with the other half of the harness next week.

I had the same conclusion about the seat. I did not understand what they wanted to do. I tried to convert the kit seat dimension to full scale, and only a small children would have been able to sit !

Following the big Photobucket rip-off attempt, all my pictures on the forum cannot display anymore. I try to reupload the RFI pictures, but i'm not sure i'd have enough time and energy to reupload the pictures of the WIP threads. If you're interested in a specific subject and want me to reupload some pictures, just let me know.

Didn't go ahead with the seatbelts, cockpit and intake. There are only the walls, cross-walls and the floor inside. But I did a LOT of other work. Glued the fuselage halves together. Filled and sanded the seam. Rescribed the paneel lines. Re-sawed them, to be correct, with a smal resin saw. Much better than fiddling with a scribing tool. Drilled holes into wingroots and across the fuselage to fit a long 3mm thick steel nail acting as wingspar/ alignment pin:

Dryfitted and adjusted the wings to the fuselage. Glued them and filled the seam. Re-sawed more paneel lines. Latest achievement are the rudder and elevators. Added steel wire instead of nails. Now it's up to fill and sand the seams, close a gap between one elevator and the fuselage, rescribe as required. To be continued...
